yeah, that will make it pull hard, for 1 or 2 runs, then you'll be buying a new engine... Trust me, with just the 3.5, you'll get an honest 25HP, you'll feel it good. And with the CAI, and exhaust, you'll feel another 15 or so... Dont forget to get auto lite #605 plugs, When you start upping the boost, you need to run a cooler engine, and a 180* t stat, KR will kill your engine, so the cooler you run your motor, the less KR ( knock resistance ) you'll get, and the longer the engine will last. Get some gauges to monitor the engine, KR, temp and all,

KR is "knock retard". its what ur comp does to compensate for the knock. knock is what kills ur engine, the KR is a measure of how far your engine is trying to correct the problem. knock has nothing to do with resistance, its actually a pre-detonation of the fuel or "dieseling", knock results when the detonation is early enough that the crank has not rolled over and the force is in opposition to the travel of the crank

to me, resistance, and retard, ( aside from the odd person) means the same thing, they both " stop or control" somthing. So its like saying people that like the same sex are gay, or a ***...they both mean the same thing, import drivers, so lets not pick my wording apart again lol... you import driver.... lol jk

either way, KR will kill your motor, cause the computor can only do so much, all the guys that I know, that have blown there engine, are because they had 8 or higher KR at the time of destruction.
another thing BUCKFEVER you have to run premium fuel with these cars, running 87 octane will not kill your engine, but you wil lhave high KR, and you will get worse fuel MPG,
